We don’t need to tell you that hip strength is crucial to running your best.

But we will tell you that we have some phenomenal, no-equipment strategies to get it done efficiently.

Let’s go. ⚡

Stronger hips = happier, healthier running.

Exciting new research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (Leppänen et al. 2024) has provided compelling evidence that hip and core strength training significantly reduces running-related injuries.

And we are here for it 👏

And if you love a good dive into the literature, here’s the reference.

The more synchronized your joints are when they move into extension, the greater the power you have in each step 🙌.

And, the more power you generate, the less energy your body has to use to push your body forward.

Aka, more speed, less energy⚡️.

And we’re here for it!

Osteopathy:

A type of manual therapy provided by highly trained clinicians and emphasizing who interconnected our tissues and their functions are.

Osteopaths are skilled at treating all kinds of acute and chronic injuries and improving overall movement patterns and function (👋 sub-par posture!).

But the best way to understand it is to experience it.

📣 So for our Hamilton community, we’re currently offering FREE 30-minute assessments with our Osteopathic Manual Therapist, Anthony.

In addition to his osteopathy training, Anthony is a strength coach and a lifelong student of the science of running, having competed at the Olympics in the 800m 🇨🇦.

Clinical expertise meets a master of the sport. Yes, please!
